185 Putnam Pike, Harmony, RI
Snack and Recess operates out of a studio in Harmony, Rhode Island.
Our location is 20 minutes from Providence by car and convenient to 14 local elementary schools.
We lovingly call our studio a "one-room school house" because it is a sunny office in a repurposed elementary school.
Our address is 185 Putnam Pike.
When you pull into the lot, you'll see the Harmony Library on your left and our school building on your right.
Snack and Recess shares the building with a child care center, offices, and other small businesses.

The teacher will meet students on the steps that face Putnam Pike building two or three minutes before the start of a session. In order to be as quiet as possible to respect our neighbors, kids will say goodbye to their families outside and walk into tutoring studio with the teacher.
There is ample parking. The closest spots are in front of the building in the drop-off loop. There are also spots between the school building and the Harmony Library, as well as behind the building. To enter the studio, walk up the front steps, enter the building, and come into the first door on the left.
Restrooms are located around the corner door down from the tutoring studio. Restrooms are open when the building is open; please lock the door behind you.
Two reasons. First, transitions can be difficult for our youngest students and long goodbyes can make transitions more difficult. We've come to appreciate the routine of greeting families, waving goodbye, and walking into our tutoring space. This means our teachers can connect with families daily but transitions are quick enough to protect students' class time.
Second, our studio shares a hallway with several businesses that need a quiet setting, so adults and siblings of students are not able to wait in the hallway or in the studio during sessions. Luckily, we share a parking lot with the Harmony library, which has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, a playground, and restrooms. The library and its outdoor spaces are a wonderful place to wait before you pick your child up.
On the first day of class, parents and families will come inside for a quick tour of the building and tutoring studio. We also have a virtual tour we will link here here and host open houses at the beginning of each season. We'd love for you to join us!
